Seriously, does HRC's smashing victory in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico actually mean anything for the general election? According to the Constitution, whether or not she or they like it, only citizens of one of the states can vote in the general election. It's like Democrats Abroad, or Guam, or the Virgin Islands. In the scheme of the nomination, yes, it matters, but how much does this affect her case for the general election? Obama is still only about 4% away from the nod, according to the Times. He'll get at least a few of the delegates from this, so HRC can't claim total victory. I don't mean this to denigrate Puerto Ricans in any way, but insofar as November is concerned, they are useless to HRC's case.
